The worst tasting experience I've ever had. With this winery's high acclaim in the wine industry I am extremely disappointed and would recommend to anyone to never visit Patz & Hall. The estate and tasting room are absolutely gorgeous, but the tasting experience itself was so boring....and that's putting it nicely. The tastings were expensive, which is somewhat understandable considering the price point of the wine, but we only tasted four wines and the pours were the smallest I've even been given at a tasting. Our pourer, Michael, was so monotone and stale. It was like sitting through a 45 minute Ben Stein Clear Eyes commercial. Actually, that would have probably been more entertaining. The entire time he kept trying to sell us on how good the wine is and how we should buy lots of it comparing it to the stock market and that it would be such a great investment. First of all, know your audience, why the long continuous pitch that wine is like the stock market and we should "invest". This is an absolutely terrible way to sell people on your wine. Second, why are you trying sell us so hard even before the actual tasting begins. A history or background is fine, but Michael was literally telling us we needed to buy the wine before he poured our...

We had a wonderful time visiting Patz & Hall Winery today! Despite the less-than-perfect weather, this place absolutely delivered on every level.
The wines were exceptional - their Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were both delicious and beautifully crafted. We were particularly impressed with the Chenoweth Ranch selection, which introduced us to the incredible Russian River Valley terroir. It's safe to say we've discovered a new favorite wine region!
The setting is gorgeous with a beautiful patio, and the staff made our experience truly memorable. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about their wines.
If you're exploring Sonoma, Patz & Hall is an absolute must-visit. We learned so much and left with a deeper appreciation for what makes Russian River Valley wines so special.
Highly recommend booking a tasting here - you won't be disappointed! 🍷✨

Read moreTop notch hospitality experience! From the time of confirming the reservation to the time we arrived, I was already sold. Once we stepped foot inside the staff was super welcoming and the tasting experience was tailored to our individual tastes, which made it so much better.
The winery is just the right size which allows for an intimate tasting experience, but also lends itself to cater to larger groups (COVID permitting) to enjoy an afternoon. It is a converted estate, that was almost tailor made to entertain.
They have a variety of Chardonnay, Pinots, Sparkling, and Rose. So it should not be hard for everyone in the group to find something that they like in the lineup. If you are concerned about prices for the wines, they are in line with similar wineries of this caliber in the area.
We will definitely have to make this site a regular stop of ours on our north bay excursions, and recommend you...
